Mission Statement

We want our children to be confident, independent, well mannered, have a sense of pride and be good citizens. We want them to work hard and to value education as being the thing that will help them reach for the stars and do whatever they want to do. We want to broaden their horizons at local, national and international levels. We want them to value themselves and each other and to have a Can Do attitude.

We want our children to explore and enjoy life from other cultures and to understand what it is like to be a multi cultural society. We want our children at The Ferns Academy to smile every minute, embrace every day and overcome every challenge that comes their way. We want to give the children the skills they need for lifelong learning goals.

We want to work closely with parents and develop an open dialogue to help support every individual child reach their true potential.
